--- Comment #32 from Michele Cherici
I have put fixed ucode-intel and ucode-amd packages here: ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/13.1_microcode_updates Installing should trigger mkinitrd. When initrd is created there is an additional line now: Microcode: ... telling the user whether a suitable microcode update has been found and added to initrd. If one is found, rebooting must result in a microcode update (check dmesg or /var/log/messages).
I've tested your package and microcode is updated after install but is not
updated after reboot.
/var/log/messages after package install:
